British beauty Elizabeth "Betsy" Braddock is a mutant with vast telepathic and telekinetic powers that she can focus into deadly weapons. She is a stealthy martial artist, a former fashion model and longtime X-Man.

Why does EVERY X-member seem to get a new Costume except Psylocke

I know Psylocke is recognizable in her nimbo-kini. She's also recognizable in her armour. But why is it that almost ALL the other X-men seem to get new revisions to their suits than her?

It seems silly to have NO alteration to her suit over the years. Every change just seems to have her go BACK to the thong.. which is drawn in various thonged/unthonged modes. I mean so far this year alone at least 8 people in the X-books have gotten new suits. She has her X-force suit which no one uses outside of that book? Even in her British Days she swapped costumes at least 3 times. So why do you guys think outside of her being recognizable in the swimsuit. Which I think is a fallacy, why wont Marvel change, when they do it to others on a near consistent basis?

I still don't see why she can't use a blue version of her X-Force suit. It's not like people are going to be asking questions considering it's about time she had a new one, anyways. And they're not going to put two & two together like, "Ohh.... new uniform... She must be on another team..." The characters usually never acknowledge what each other is wearing, anyways. Most characters change suit designs like nothing. It really just boils down to laziness on Marvel's artist's part, and the fact that the leotard is pretty iconic.

There's nothing wrong with her iconic leotard, it's just... you know, 2012, and with the weapons and powers people have... I'm not too sure bare thighs are going to cut it in protection department. And you got to admit, her X-Force suit looks sharp as hell.

Even Emma wears pants now, and Ms. Marvel who essentially had the same costume as Betsy has a full on body suit now. >.> Sure Psylocke can't turn into diamond, but there's no doubt that she's durable. She's the only one on X-Force without a healing factor besides Kurt, who can teleport to avoid being hit anyways, and she hangs just fine. I just want her to have a more modernized look. :S

Warren was recently sacrificed to give depth. It doesn't look like it's panning out too well, in my opinion, she didn't have new costumes like everyone else because she didn't really exist as a character.

It'd be awesome if Marvel editorial would give her a more English inspired costume. She's not Japanese or Chinese. She's NOT a dragon lady. She's got only pieces of Kwannon in her body. Appearances aside, her speaking English Slang is not BEING English. I'd rather her carry a Long Sword,, or something. An Armored suit, to give her even more staying power in a fight. Just because she's a Ninja doesn't make her on par with Deadpool, Wolvie, or the like. She could use protection. It can be highly fashionable and sexy. It's a comic where people Kill physics daily. So her wearing a conforming armored bodysuit of unstable particles is not out of the question.

@oraclefyre: That's pure laziness. Storm is far more recognizable, and so is Sue Storm, Elektra, Firestar ( OH THAT FIRE CHICK FROM SPIDERMAN!), that all get new costumes, Even Emma is more recognizable, and she gets a new suit every year it seems. Psylocke artists are pure lazy, Funny is that Janet Pym designed clothes for Super models, and stayed in a new suit. Psylocke used to be one, and is stuck in the same suit for years.. sense, it makes none. But gotta have those butt shots lol.

It's more of a visual queue. Agreed, changing it would upset the pervy fanboys.

That's a blunt way of putting it but's kinda true. I love seeing Psylocke in action but whenever's she not on a team I never find myself needing or wanting her; Let alone wanting a new costume. I like her in her usual costume.
